Marzipan Bumblebees

Though it can be a bit tricky to work with tiny pieces of marzipan, as in this recipe, do not be tempted to plump up the bumblebees; they can easily begin to take the shape of hummingbirds. The two may share an interest in flowers, but the larger creatures look quite out of place on a beehive. Following these instructions produces life-size bees, admittedly rather simplified.
